What’s on your mind..?
Fuel prices are once again becoming a major concern, especially as global oil markets react to growing geopolitical instability. In Malaysia, the government says it is still working hard to keep the subsidised RON95 petrol price at RM1.99 per litre for eligible Malaysians under the BUDI95 mechanism, even as international crude prices continue climbing.
Malaysia's fuel subsidy debate is back in focus, and this time the pressure is coming from outside the country. Economists are warning that if the conflict involving Iran keeps global oil prices elevated, the government may need to rethink how it supports petrol prices, especially for RON95. The concern is not just about today's pump price, but about how long public finances can keep absorbing the gap if energy markets stay volatile.
If you've ever paid for petrol using the outdoor "pay-at-pump" terminal, you'll know how quick and convenient it is. But that convenience is now part of a bigger discussion, because the government is looking at whether overseas-registered credit cards should be blocked at these terminals, especially at petrol stations.
If you've been wondering whether PADU is "still a thing" after the whole targeted subsidy conversation, the short answer is: yes — and Putrajaya is about to widen what it's used for.
With Malaysia rolling out the BUDI Madani RON95 subsidy programme (BUDI95), many motorists are gearing up for the new RM1.99 per litre subsidised fuel price starting 30th September 2025. The initiative allows all Malaysians with a valid driving licence to enjoy cheaper fuel under a targeted subsidy scheme — but one question keeps popping up: Can you safely use your smartphone or eWallet app at petrol stations?
